Introduction
What we offer and our pricing
3Shape Digital information
Milling blocks, milling machines, 3D printers and liquids
When explaining the benefits of digital technologies, people often use words such as fast, efficient, consistent and precise. When they review the products and services offered through Argen Digital by Skillbond, the same descriptive words come to mind: fast, efficient, consistent and precise. Also add innovative and relentless.
Our goal is to continually expand the company’s digital product offerings whilst manufacturing here in the UK. We aim to exclusively support the dental laboratory by delivering superior products to the lab with quick turnaround and affordable pricing.
This drives Argen Digital by Skillbond forward, consistently aiming to improve upon current products and services while building its product portfolio to be a single source for the dental laboratory’s outsourcing needs.

3.Bite Appliances
Bite appliances made from acetal are nearly unbreakable and become very profitable when manufactured in an automated workflow. This tooth-colored appliance can be milled thinner, providing increased patient comfort and thus improved compliance with treatment. In addition, the retention can be easily adjusted because the acetal will flex over undercuts.
4. Smile Enhancement
Lastly, acetal is ideal for smile enhancement. We can CAD an overlay patient-retrievable appliance for improving color, misalignment, shape, length, and placement of existing teeth—which can help improve a patient’s self-esteem. Embracing smile make-overs provides the lab the ability to introduce a new profitable product and generate a highly profitable restoration. Again, acetal is also an ideal material for this indication because its flexibility offers great retention and it will fit into natural undercuts in the arch. Furthermore, a patient-retrievable smile-enhancer will lead some patients to move forward with a more permanent solution like veneers, adding another layer of profitability to your bottom line.
